Pet Odor Treatment

Pet odor can really be a problem, especially if your pet has a "favorite" spot on the carpet. Pet accidents can cause urine to soak through the carpet into the backing, carpet padding and even into the sub-floor. Typically it takes several accidents for the urine to soak through. The toughest task in getting the pet odor out is to remove the contamination from all of the affected layers.

Knight's Carpet Care has the tools to determine how bad the contamination is. We have a "urine detector" to check the padding. We can also use an ultra violet light to determine exactly where the trouble spots are.

There are 3 options for pet urine removal. Below is some basic descriptions of your options. Please don't hesitate to give us a call with any questions.

Option 1
Clean the carpet as normal. This includes pre-spotting to attempt to remove the stain (included with cleaning price). No extra charge. This is the way to go if odor isn't a problem. We will make every effort to remove the stain. We have very good spot removers, but usually we can't promise to get the stains out, but we will make every effort possible.

Option 2
Clean the carpet with our powerful pet enzyme treatment.(topical treatment). This is one option if odor is a problem. If there are several spots in your home, but no one specific area, this may take care of the problem. If it is determined the urine has soaked through the carpet backing, usually we can't promise removal with topical treatments. Prices start at $20.00 per room.

Option 3
Subsurface extraction to flush the urine out from the padding.This option would be good if you have one or two areas where your pet has their favorite spot. We use a water claw tool to flush the urine up from the padding with our high power enzymes and deodirizers. The water claw extracts the moisture from the pad. This can be effective if deposits have reached the pad and aren't too severe. We will do this multiple times in the same area to get a "flush" effect. Prices start at $21.25 per 5 gallons; this is our minimum for this treatment. Typically 5 gallons covers 2-3 flushes of a 3x3 square foot area. Again we can't promise complete odor removal with topical treatments.

Option 4
This is a multi step process, we will need to make 2 trips out to complete the service. Trip one: we will pull the carpet back, remove the damaged pad and tack strips if necessary. Clean the carpet backing, subfloor, face fiber, and treat with enzymes. Typically takes 24-48 hours to fully dry. Trip two: on the finish up trip, we will seal the subfloor, install new pad and tack strips, restretch the carpet, then finish up with a cleaning. This is the way to go if your cat has a favorite corner, or your dog a favorite walkway. Unfortunatly in occupied homes we cant make any promises odor will be gone, due to the fact we don't know if your pet will go right back to the same area. We have seen cats and dogs randomly start soiling the carpets when a new baby comes, someone new moves into the home, or something in their environment changes; this is why we can't make that promise. Prices start at $160.00, based on 2 trips, materials, restretch ..etc.. Call for an onsite estimate to determine exact areas of damage and cost. $40.00 inspection fee applies if we don't do any work, estimates are good for 30 days.

If 20% or more of a room is affected typically carpet replacement is the only cost effective way to remove the odor; we can tear out the damaged carpet and prep the floor before new carpet instalation if desired. Call for pricing information.
